Aleksejs Ponakovs Eliminated In 10th Place ($96,986)

Level 20 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Aleksejs Ponakovs
Aleksejs Ponakovs

Darren Elias opened to 245,000 in the cutoff and on the button Ponakovs moved all in for 1,740,000 which saw Lewis Spencer in the big blind use two time banks before folding for roughly the same stack. Elias snap called and the cards were on their backs.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: K?J?
Darren Elias: A?K?

The flop of Q?6?2? gave Ponakovs a myriad of backdoor outs, which saw the turn A? eliminated Ponakovs pair outs, leaving him with a flush draw and straight draw. The river 3? did not improve Ponakovs and the bracelet winner exited the tournament just shy of the final table.

The final nine players have taken their seats for the final table.

Hrabec Fights Back Against Rast

Level 20 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Brian Rast raised to 240,000 under the gun and Roman Hrabec flat-called in the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of K?3?2? and Rast continued with a bet of 260,000. Hrabec called and the 2? paired the board on the turn.

Rast checked this time and Hrabec checked it back to the 9? on the river. Rast checked once more and Hrabec fired out a bet of 600,000, good enough to make Rast lay his hand down.

Jorge Consiglieri Eliminated in 11th Place ($96,986)

Level 20 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Brian Rast raised it up on the button and Jorge Consiglieri ripped all in for 870,000 in the small blind. Roman Hrabec folded his big blind and Rast called after confirming the count.

Jorge Consiglieri: A?3?
Brian Rast: A?6?

Rast held the preflop advantage but there were plenty of opportunities for a chopped pot. However, the flop of 6?4?2? gave Rast a pair and Consiglieri a straight draw. The A? on the turn and the 7? on the river was not enough for Consiglieri as he bowed out in 11th place.
